To solve the problems in the image, we need to factorize the given quadratic expressions. Let's go through each problem step by step.
We need to factorize \(3y^2 + 16y + 5\).
1. Identify coefficients: \(a = 3\), \(b = 16\), \(c = 5\).
2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 3 \cdot 5 = 15\) and whose sum is \(b = 16\). The numbers are \(15\) and \(1\) because \(15 \cdot 1 = 15\) and \(15 + 1 = 16\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(3y^2 + 15y + y + 5\).
4. Group and factor: \((3y^2 + 15y) + (y + 5) = 3y(y + 5) + 1(y + 5)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((3y + 1)(y + 5)\).
So, the factorization is \((3y + 1)(y + 5)\).
We need to factorize \(6z^2 - 11z - 2\).
1. Identify coefficients: \(a = 6\), \(b = -11\), \(c = -2\).
2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 6 \cdot (-2) = -12\) and whose sum is \(b = -11\). The numbers are \(-12\) and \(1\) because \(-12 \cdot 1 = -12\) and \(-12 + 1 = -11\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(6z^2 - 12z + z - 2\).
4. Group and factor: \((6z^2 - 12z) + (z - 2) = 6z(z - 2) + 1(z - 2)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((6z + 1)(z - 2)\).
So, the factorization is \((6z + 1)(z - 2)\).
We need to factorize \(5w^2 - 9w + 2\).
1. Identify coefficients: \(a = 5\), \(b = -9\), \(c = 2\).
2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 5 \cdot 2 = 10\) and whose sum is \(b = -9\). The numbers are \(-5\) and \(-4\) because \(-5 \cdot (-4) = 10\) and \(-5 + (-4) = -9\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(5w^2 - 5w - 4w + 2\).
4. Group and factor: \((5w^2 - 5w) + (-4w + 2) = 5w(w - 1) - 2(2w - 1)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((5w - 2)(w - 1)\).
So, the factorization is \((5w - 2)(w - 1)\).
This quadratic expression does not factorize into real numbers because the discriminant (\(b^2 - 4ac\)) is negative. Therefore, it cannot be factored over the real numbers.
This is not a quadratic expression. It simplifies to \(-5y - 10\), which can be factored as \(-5(y + 2)\).
This simplifies to \(44\), which is a constant and cannot be factored further.
This simplifies to \(27m + 6\), which can be factored as \(3(9m + 2)\).
We need to factorize \(y^2 - 15y + 4\).
1. Identify coefficients: \(a = 1\), \(b = -15\), \(c = 4\).
2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 1 \cdot 4 = 4\) and whose sum is \(b = -15\). The numbers are \(-1\) and \(-14\) because \(-1 \cdot (-14) = 4\) and \(-1 + (-14) = -15\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(y^2 - y - 14y + 4\).
4. Group and factor: \((y^2 - y) + (-14y + 4) = y(y - 1) - 4(3y - 1)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((y - 1)(y - 4)\).
So, the factorization is \((y - 1)(y - 4)\).
This simplifies to \(36z + 63\), which can be factored as \(9(4z + 7)\).
This quadratic expression does not factorize into real numbers because the discriminant (\(b^2 - 4ac\)) is negative. Therefore, it cannot be factored over the real numbers.

2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 8 \cdot (-3) = -24\) and whose sum is \(b = -2\). The numbers are \(-6\) and \(4\) because \(-6 \cdot 4 = -24\) and \(-6 + 4 = -2\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(8d^2 - 6d + 4d - 3\).
4. Group and factor: \((8d^2 - 6d) + (4d - 3) = 2d(4d - 3) + 1(4d - 3)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((2d + 1)(4d - 3)\).
So, the factorization is \((2d + 1)(4d - 3)\).
We need to factorize \(2k^2 + 19k - 10\).
1. Identify coefficients: \(a = 2\), \(b = 19\), \(c = -10\).
2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 2 \cdot (-10) = -20\) and whose sum is \(b = 19\). The numbers are \(20\) and \(-1\) because \(20 \cdot (-1) = -20\) and \(20 + (-1) = 19\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(2k^2 + 20k - k - 10\).
4. Group and factor: \((2k^2 + 20k) + (-k - 10) = 2k(k + 10) - 1(k + 10)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((2k - 1)(k + 10)\).
So, the factorization is \((2k - 1)(k + 10)\).
This simplifies to \(4p + 21\), which cannot be factored further.
This simplifies to \(15q + 1\), which cannot be factored further.
We need to factorize \(12l^2 - 17l - 99\).

2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 12 \cdot (-99) = -1188\) and whose sum is \(b = -17\). The numbers are \(-44\) and \(27\) because \(-44 \cdot 27 = -1188\) and \(-44 + 27 = -17\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(12l^2 - 44l + 27l - 99\).
4. Group and factor: \((12l^2 - 44l) + (27l - 99) = 4l(3l - 11) + 9(3l - 11)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((4l + 9)(3l - 11)\).
So, the factorization is \((4l + 9)(3l - 11)\).
We need to factorize \(2m^2 + 63m + 145\).
1. Identify coefficients: \(a = 2\), \(b = 63\), \(c = 145\).
2. Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 2 \cdot 145 = 290\) and whose sum is \(b = 63\). The numbers are \(29\) and \(34\) because \(29 \cdot 34 = 290\) and \(29 + 34 = 63\).
3. Rewrite the middle term: \(2m^2 + 29m + 34m + 145\).
4. Group and factor: \((2m^2 + 29m) + (34m + 145) = m(2m + 29) + 5(2m + 29)\).
5. Factor out the common term: \((m + 5)(2m + 29)\).
So, the factorization is \((m + 5)(2m + 29)\).
This quadratic expression does not factorize into real numbers because the discriminant (\(b^2 - 4ac\)) is negative. Therefore, it cannot be factored over the real numbers.
We need to factorize \(15t^2 - 20t + 5\).
1. Factor out the greatest common factor: \(5(3t^2 - 4t + 1)\).
2. Factor the quadratic expression inside: \(3t^2 - 4t + 1\).

- Find two numbers whose product is \(a \cdot c = 3 \cdot 1 = 3\) and whose sum is \(b = -4\). The numbers are \(-3\) and \(-1\) because \(-3 \cdot (-1) = 3\) and \(-3 + (-1) = -4\).
- Rewrite the middle term: \(3t^2 - 3t - t + 1\).
- Group and factor: \((3t^2 - 3t) + (-t + 1) = 3t(t - 1) - 1(t - 1)\).
- Factor out the common term: \((3t - 1)(t - 1)\).
So, the factorization is \(5(3t - 1)(t - 1)\).
This quadratic expression does not factorize into real numbers because the discriminant (\(b^2 - 4ac\)) is negative. Therefore, it cannot be factored over the real numbers.
We need to factorize \(3x^2 + 4x - 1\).
